The Life of Ephraim Shay

This web site is dedicated to documenting and exploring the life of Ephraim Shay, who is best known for his invention of the Shay Locomotive. Other web sites and books focus on the Shay Locomotive. Our intention is to create a web biography. Our first installment in this process has been to transcribe 2 diaries that Ephraim Shay wrote, primarily during his involvement in the American Civil War. This web site is authored by Duane Fahey, a descendant of Mary Ann Velma (Shay) Shipman. I believe that this is Ephraim's Sister.
